ENVIRONMENTALIST FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST BP
Another lawsuit was filed against British Petroleum for their involvement in the April 20 oil spill, but this time from a local Naples, Fla., environmentalist. Brian Doyle claims that BP, along with others, violated various federal acts during their “lax adherence to federal environmental laws and permits.”
In the lawsuit, Doyle is asking a that the defendants be forced to “clean up the discharged oil as quickly as possible, cap the remaining discharge and prevent further contamination of the Gulf of Mexico.” The lawsuit is one of many recently filed in the Fort Myers U.S. District court.
